You know how you hear about defenses putting a "spy" on a player? Like maybe on a running QB?

Do offensive players ever put a "spy" on a defensive player, say someone like Clowney? Or any guy that can almost single handledly disrupt an offense's planned play?

Just curious if it something offenses do...."hey, no matter what happens, YOU (say Ford) hit Clowney, and be sure he's not up in here taking the handoff from the QB before HE (say Ware) gets the ball".

While I realize that Ford and Ware are rarely in a game at the same time, you get the idea. Does that happen?

They would just have a plan to double team him either with an OL and a RB, OL and a TE or they could send a RB out on a route but tell him to put a hit on clowney as he comes out of the backfield.

It's usually handled with formations and blocking assignments. Usual schemes have blocking RB's protecting inside gaps first, preserving an interior pocket the QB can step up into. Can have them look outside first, and also utilize TE's or slot backs.
